Never Give Up!

Most times I would write a full blog entry describing what I took from this video, but I’m at a loss for words. Trust me, however, the football game and MSU’s improbably victory is only a metaphor and completely minimized in the face of… Continue Reading “Never Give Up!”

Perfectly My Dad

Hopefully my Dad doesn’t see this (because he might think I’m making fun of him), but if he does, hopefully he knows that this is such a perfect encapsulation (is “encapsulation” a word?) of his spirit and part of why we all love him,… Continue Reading “Perfectly My Dad”

I Think I Just Ended a Two Year Battle with Writer’s Block

I blog because I like to write. I’ve had blogs of all shapes and sizes for, oh, about 10 years. Yup. Believe it. My first blog was on Blogger and called “Donniego” which was “Donnie” and “Ego” combined because I thought blogging was nothing… Continue Reading “I Think I Just Ended a Two Year Battle with Writer’s Block”

Things I Love: My Wife

*** Warning *** *** Cheese and sentiment to follow *** Mostly I blog about myself. Or I blog about things that interest me (coffee, things I buy, coffee techniques, cool stuff I find and rave about, etc). And this isn’t really any different, but… Continue Reading “Things I Love: My Wife”

Coffee Clarity (with a Jolt of Gary Vaynerchuk)

If you don’t like cursing, well, ignore it but watch the video below. If you don’t like me talking about myself, well, ignore this blog. If you think me saying, “I’m going to drink less coffee,” is code that I’m being held hostage but blogging… Continue Reading “Coffee Clarity (with a Jolt of Gary Vaynerchuk)”

Sometimes a Blog Can Just Share Something Fun

Most days I wake up around 5:00 or 5:30 a.m. with grand plans to tackle the day and take control and take a walk and eat a power breakfast and do some chores and do some writing and read some headlines and do some… Continue Reading “Sometimes a Blog Can Just Share Something Fun”

Indomitable Spirit

All day I’ve been smiling about the brief conversation my wife and I had with my 8-year-old this morning. Just as I was walking out the door to head to work, she came downstairs with sleep in her eyes and stretching and yawning, but… Continue Reading “Indomitable Spirit”

I Like Things. Things Like the iHeartRADIO App

Full disclosure, I work for iHeartMEDIA. But, I promise you as sure as my name Bob Pittman, even if I didn’t work here, I’d love the iHeartRadio app (for the iPhone). Still kinda grumpy about the iPad version. Just sayin’. Today iHeart announced they… Continue Reading “I Like Things. Things Like the iHeartRADIO App”

Bedphones

Remember when I wrote that “I Won Christmas?” I made such a bodacious claim because I asked for a buncha utility items for Christmas and it wasn’t really a vanity play. What are “utility items?” Because I’m an old man, it means I’ve started… Continue Reading “Bedphones”

Vacation Lessons

I’m fresh back from my annual week-long vacation in “Up North” Michigan where I rent a cabin with my family on Torch Lake. I’ve been renting this same cabin for, by my calculations, 13 consecutive years. I’m pretty sure I started vacationing on Torch… Continue Reading “Vacation Lessons”
